2 May 1863 There is a report of the theft in the Staffordshire Sentinel and Commercial and General Advertiser Saturday 2 May 1863 p.5 col.3: ROBBERY BY A BOY, Henry Stevenson, a boy, remanded from Tuesday, was charged yesterday with stealing 5s. from the shop till of Thomas Durber, shopkeeper, Stoke. On Tuesday week the boy went into the shop, which was left with no one in charge, and took 5s. and some coppers, amount not known, from tlie till. Mrs. Durber's servant hearing a noise went into the shop and saw the boy "scrawling'; behind the counter. She called her mistress, and the prisoner, who was then standing at the door, asked for bread, Mrs. Durber went to the till, and seeing that the money had been taken from it, she went to the prisoner and took hold of him, but he slipped from her and ran away. Both Mrs. Durber and the servant spoke positively to the prisoner, who, as on Tuesday, persistently declared he was at work on the day of the robbery. Mr. J. Rose said inquiries had been made at the place where prisoner said he worked, and his story was found to false. He had been previously convicted of thieving three times and Mr. J. Rose said he was a most accomplished thief. He was sent to prison for twenty-one days, prior to being sent to a reformatory for four years.
